Mass Shootings, Terror, and Far-right Extremism

The idea that Mass schootings and spectacular suicides are driven by Trans ideology is simply false. The majority of spectacular suicides occur due to far-right extremism. Motives involving spectacular suicides include:

• Far-Right Extremism
• Domestic Disturbance/Break ups
• Work place violence
• Manosphere/Incel
• Bullying at school/church
• Islamic Extremism

Far-left ideologies are rarely a motive, and when present have overlap to sovereign citizen movements or Separationists.

Mental illness, Childhood abuse, or traumatic brain injury are almost always present. Usually more than one factor. We start to see an increase in Veterans with PTSD and CTE following the 20 year GWOT. In about 2017-2018 the influence of "Saints Culture" and radicalization in gaming, reddit, and 4chan communities begins to spike.

This list only focuses on far-right extremism and did not include school shootings unless an explicit racist or antisemitic motive was given.
